When Horn arrives on the rooftop tarmac of a building in the city, he sits on the Black Hawk airship. Looking at the casino from afar, the lights are still bustling, and the traffic is frequent. He said softly, "I came to the casino once twenty years ago, when the city was half the size of what it is now. At that time, Old Baker did not hide his hatred for me, and when he met me at the casino, he said that he would kill me one day. Of course he hates me, because all three of his sons died at my hands, can he not hate me? ”

Anna stood silently behind him.

Horn smiled: "I don't pity him, let alone someone like him, do you really think you will care about flesh and blood?" If he could, Old Baker wouldn't be where he is today. I slew his three sons as if they were his hands and feet. He felt pain and hated me, of course. At the end of the day, he just saw himself. It's just that at that time, he said that he wanted to kill me, but in fact he didn't even dare to touch a finger against me. Because he knows very well that it is one thing to say it. If I do it, then I can kill him openly. ”

"The old guy is very smart, he has endured until now, and laid out silently. But he didn't know that I was well prepared for this day, and I arranged it deeper and wider than him. finally cleared a cancer for the family. Horn said lightly.

"Wouldn't it be more simply to kill him directly back then?"

Horn laughed, shook his head and said, "How can it be so simple, I just took over the family back then. Killing Old Baker's sons was a warning, and if even he was killed, it would make the side worry cold. Anna, don't look at the scenery of being a head of a family. In fact, we have so much to worry about. It's not easy to maintain a family, and it's even more difficult to get a family to branch. ”

"Everything is under my control tonight, but there was one thing that surprised me by old Baker."

Anna narrowed her eyes, "The killer named Valsheen?" ”

"Old Baker can't find such a person, and you heard it at the time, that killer didn't exactly follow Old Baker's orders. Hmph, someone is trying to get a kick in our family. Horn's face changed slightly, and he coughed violently. He took out a square scarf and put it to his mouth, and the white square scarf quickly oozed red.

Anna was startled and was about to get up.

Horn shook his head, wiped the blood from his lips and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury." You see, being the head of a family is so tiring that you can't even show your injuries in front of those people. ”

"Master, do you want to check that killer?"

"No, I guess I can't find anything. Even if the clues that can be found, most of them are some smoke. Fog bombs. Those who dare to attack me have to have some catties and taels, how can they be dug up so easily. ”

Anna hesitated and said, "Sir, Edric and Tyre are not necessarily more loyal than Old Baker. ”

"Of course." Horn clutched the scarf in a ball, and when he released it again, the entire scarf had turned to ashes. He said: "If you look at the whole family, there are a few people who are truly loyal. To control a fiery horse, it is not enough to cultivate affection, but also to feed and drink. But if it dares to be pampered, it has to be beaten. And the strength of this beating must be well controlled. Hit too lightly to serve as a warning. Hit it too hard, afraid it would run. ”

Horn smiled and looked up: "Tonight is not only to settle the old Baker, but also to knock them down a little." At least until I leave office, these two guys won't rebel. ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes, and Anna knew that he was going to rest, and she didn't bother him. Looking out of the porthole, the airship began to rise, and the building faded away. Even the bustling city below quickly turned into a blur of lights, and it was impossible to distinguish the outline of things.

Just like in this world, there are many things that are inherently difficult to distinguish.

Elephant had a sleepless night.

It was already late at night, and the surface general, nicknamed "War Elephant" in the political arena, was sitting in his hall. Elephant was fat, as fat as a pig, and his body of more than 400 pounds was as fat as a ball. He was born white and pure, and when he squinted and smiled, he had a kind of fat man's honesty, but when his eyes were half-squinted and half-open, he could see the murderous intent hidden in his honest face.

Among the eight generals of the surface garrison, Elephant's combat power has to be in the back row, but his influence is firmly in the top three. Although this fat man is called a war elephant, he advocates the tactic of ants biting elephants to death. Under the eight generals, he has the largest number of troops. Of course, such tactics cannot be put on the table on high-end battlefields. But on the surface, it was enough for the general Elephant to cover the sky with one hand.

Those who are familiar with Elephant know that this is definitely not a law-abiding person. On the surface, he is a federal general, but behind the scenes, Aliphant has done some dirty things. Like cultivating armed groups on the surface, they even have their own research bases, secretly carrying out those inhumane experiments. There's a study of predators. What's even more terrifying is that predators are the failure of a certain biochemical research. Based on the principle of thrift, Elephant simply threw these modified monsters out and controlled them to carry out some actions that were inconvenient for him to perform.

A lot of the time, Elephant is smiling. Even when he was killing, he rarely saw this fat man serious. But at this moment, the general was about to squeeze his ass off this poor couch, and there was no smile on his face. He smelled of cigarettes, and on the table in front of him, cigarette butts were almost piled up on a hill.

Just as Aliphant rubbed the first cigarette butt on the table, the window of the hall was pushed open, and a figure entered. The man was supposed to be wearing a comforting suit, but now he was in rags. All over the body, even the sunglasses are still good, but it is Valsheen, the killer that Elephant lent to Old Baker. Footsteps rang out outside the hall, and Elliphant yelled, "Go back, it's none of your business here." ”

Having dispersed the guards, the fat man threw away his cigarette butt and went straight off the table, his body unexpectedly light, and it had nothing to do with the word stupid. He was supposed to be Valsheen's boss, but he held him up like a subordinate and asked, "Are you injured?" ”

The fat man's eyes opened a slit in the honorific and looked at the bloodstain on Valsheen's chest. The latter pushed him away and said indifferently: "You can't die, Horn is really tricky." After seeing that famous knife for many years, I thought it was put on the shelf, and it turned out that it had been hidden in the crutches he carried with him. That autumn is worthy of being a famous knife, and a knife comes down, like the autumn sun. If you don't see the edge, you can't see anything, and you can't cut anything. ”

Valsheen reached for his sunglasses.

Sunglasses, his face blurred for a while. It was like a puff of light smoke, and when the smoke cleared, the killer's appearance had changed dramatically. From the public face that was unrecognizable when it was thrown in the sea of people before, it has now become a resolute, angular and individualized appearance. Importantly, this is still a well-known face. Jokes, His Excellency the President appears in public every once in a while to give speeches, and the media in Babylon are desperately trying to propagandize. Even on the surface, posters of the presidential election have been plastered in the toilets of poor homes, and who doesn't know the man who is going to be re-elected?

Maybe even Horn didn't think that it was Mobile who shot at him on the golden sails. Mobile ripped off his tattered shirt in front of Aliphant, and a blood groove in his chest was shocking. But what is even more surprising is that the president has so many chest scars that he can hardly find a good piece of meat. Mobile stretched out a finger and slashed across the blood groove on his chest, saying, "When Horn took out the autumn trough, I thought I could still fight it." But when that knife swung in, I knew that Qiu Yun's sword qi was so pervasive that it was about to catch up with the golden rose's shattering power. If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back. ”

Aliphant first lowered his head, and then quickly raised his face with a look of surprise: "A handful of autumn clouds has such great power?" ”

"Of course, a handful of autumn clouds is not so powerful, but in Horn's hands, there is one." Mobile shook his head and sighed: "Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to cover up with Old Baker's identity this time, and it would be better if I could kill Horn in one fell swoop." Even if it doesn't work, it can hit him hard. When the time comes, we won't have to do anything, and Bescord will definitely mess up. Bethcord is in turmoil, and several families, including the Mowson family, will also be in turmoil. At this time, if we push it behind the back, the whole aristocracy will follow suit. It's good to mess up, as soon as this water is mixed, we will be able to act conveniently. I didn't expect Horn to be so strong, not only his combat power is superb, but even his strategy is terrifying. ”

He patted Elliphant on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that you weren't there at the time, otherwise you would have been able to see our Mr. Horn playing open and dark chess together, and the old Baker had no power to fight back, what a wonderful scene it was." A Horn is still like this, and those wealthy family heads are not easy to match, it seems that I still underestimated them before. ”

"And now?"

Mobile frowned and said, "My injury is not serious, and it is not light." Without a few days of effort, it is impossible to clear Qiu Yun's sword qi. So tomorrow's speech probably won't be able to appear, otherwise if you give Horn a clue, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

Ellifen nodded and said, "Then I'll cancel it for you?" ”

"No, that's more noticeable. It's okay, you let Alain go instead of me, he has no problem. ”

Alain is a stand-in for Mobile, and his figure and appearance are seven or eight points similar to the president. Coupled with the disguise technique that Mobile used before, it is difficult to see through as long as you are not a person who is extremely familiar with him. Mobile said in a deep voice: "I have to stay with you for the next few days, Elephant, you and Alan try to cooperate well in the past few days for speeches and other activities, so as not to attract attention from the outside world." ”

"Naturally, please rest assured, Your Excellency." A sincere smile spread across the general's face.

Moby nodded and walked away. Alphaphant sat down and began to smoke again, as if he was thinking about something, tapping his fingers lightly and heavily on the table. Finally, he shook his head, dropped the half-smoked cigarette on the table, and got up to leave. A moment after he left, Mobile poked his head out at the bend of the stairs and glanced at the pile of cigarette butts on the table before turning away.

After another moment, a servant quickly cleaned the cigarette butts from the table and carefully scrubbed them clean to make the table as bright as ever.
